In Joshua Oppenheimer’s brilliant and chilling documentary, former leaders of Indonesian death squads are challenged to stage theatrical reenactments of the mass murders they once helped oversee. The result is an unsettling journey into the imaginations of mass-murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit. Executive produced by legendary filmmakers Errol Morris and Werner Herzog and co-directed by Christine Cynn and one or more Anonymous Indonesian filmmakers, The Act of Killing shocked audiences upon its release and is remembered as a masterpiece of the new millennium.
